Gististaðir í Apía

"The location is breath taking and is in a part of Colombia with unbelievable natural beauty that rivals Costa Rica in its own way. The hostel is situated on the edge of a piece of land that overlooks a mountain range with valleys, birds and all manner of natural beauty. My room, when you opened the curtains had a stunning view of the above which was just amazing to see first thing each day. The hostel also has a huge general space, this is somewhat like an enormous L-Shaped conservatory with tables and chairs for guests to eat breakfast or talk. I was lucky to go when they are quiet and had the whole place to myself! So this is where I did my Yoga every morning. Honestly, I loved it there! Cesar (one of the owners/Managers) offers a service to and from the airport in Pereira and also will guide you around town (for a fee) if you want to learn about it all as I did. Super guy! Great family-owned hostel that has so much potential!"

"Not really much I can say here, except a few little things like: as there is no staff manning the place and no food or drinks for sale on site you need to bring your own. Or you have to either take a "Cho Cho" (Tuk tuk) back and forth from town, or organise with Cesar (one of the owners) to take you into town, which he did for me each day. If they had a simple coffee machine for guests to either make free coffee or pay for it with an honesty box, this would be a nice touch. But with Apia town being literally a 5 minute drive and with amazing food, drinks and people to boot, it really didn't bother me much."
